Podcast: David Williams Discusses Springboks, Troepies and Cadres on Radio Today

David Williams was on Radio Today to talk about his book Springboks, Troepies and Cadres with host Michael Coulson. In part, Williams’ focus was the book’s description of the war exploits of South Africans in various settings.
